;In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
sinecure; noun
1.
an office or position requiring little or no work, especially one yielding profitable returns.
2.
an ecclesiastical benefice without cure of souls.
Etymology: 1660s, "church benefice with an emolument but without parish duties," from Medieval Latin beneficium sine cura "benefice without care" (of souls), from Latin sine "without" (see sans ) + cura, ablative singular of cura "care" (see cure (n.1)).
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Why did Hillary’s mother live there and accompanied them on all their trips?
Because she could.
maybe so, but i am talking about the return of Jesus being fairly imminent. but you knew that ; )
it crosses denominations, this feeling isn’t unique to catholics, but also to evangelicals etc.
I am in the habit of looking into the sky to see if Jesus is coming on a cloud.....feels like He should be coming and minute.
Yes, that is the answeer for everything shady Hillary and Obama do. Because they could.
I’ve literally dreamt of it.
I thought I saw that yesterday on Twitter, but was hoping it was some sort of humor.
xshub was postulating elder abuse and a $ scam, but didn’t sound like that to me. Wofford was waxing poetic. There was a SPARK on the beach between the then 75 yo and 25 yo. yeah, right!
LOL! :-)
I couldn’t help wondering if her original position had been a liberal sinecure, anyway:

most likely was, but she’s clearly a nut! A+++
It is 80 here-but it was chilly this AM-as well as being a cool Spring, the trees were late leafing out, too...
Bill Clinton used his last job
In ways that weren’t intended-
A sinecure, more than anything
And to hell with who it offended
During office hours when he was
Supposed to be paying attention
He was tangled up with Monica
Doing things he didn’t mention
Now, Hillary wants to be queen
She and Bill say it is her turn
To steal more than two lawyers
In the “real” world would earn...
When I saw that Melissa Click got fired, my first gleeful thought was poetic justice-payback is a bitch...
“Turn” is back on AMC tonight. I didn’t think it would get another season, but it did.
A +++ 84 deg now
I didn’t hear that, either-thanks...
Thank you! It is 86 here, but is supposed to be back to 78-82 again after tomorrow-and rain...
I joke about my 3 ungrateful shelter cats-but Midget girl is the most ungrateful and demanding pet ever-you would think she was taken from a palace instead of being a little feral cat found in the woods. She is obsessed with the times food and treats appear-and she has a high pitched little complaining whine that lets me know when it is almost time for food or treats.
If I ignore that, she adds reaching up to my chair with her front paws to pat at me while repeating the whine-she does not stop until I head for the kitchen-totally spoiled little creature of habit-Titus and Yeti boy wait patiently until I start putting food in bowls or they hear the rattle of the treats before becoming vocal...
I thought the article said the former Gov was 90, so his new love is 40? In my experience, a man doesn’t just become gay after a loving marriage....he was gay all along and on the down low.
